MTL - He is From Great Sea of Stars-Chapter 122 On the knowledge of looking for a princess

The Queen Mother looked at the girl who was bowing down with no expression on her face. Although she was a little surprised before, she has since recovered her calm. Her tone was slow and majestic.

"Is it you who saved King An?"

Qu Shuning was stunned for a moment, then quickly glanced at Huo Xingchao beside him, a little shy in his voice,

"Yes."

The queen mother didn't react for a while.

Mainly, as usual, when she asks this kind of question, the other party will basically answer like this,

"Returning to the Queen Mother, in fact, even if there is no help from the ministers and daughters, the prince can escape by himself. It's just a little effort, and it's not worth mentioning."

And this girl, she simply answered yes, and didn't even have the prefix of returning to the queen mother.

The queen mother herself was shocked.

Huo Xingxing, who had nothing to do with himself, couldn't help but raised his head in surprise at this moment, raised his eyebrows,

"This girl is not only sharp with archery, but also has a very neat temper."

"You really are still a child."

Huo Chaochao continued to sigh,

"In front of the queen mother, to be so undisguised and act unruly is not called neat, it can only be called reckless."

"Thanks to the mother's indifference, if it is replaced by the queen, or a harem with a slightly bigger temperament, her life-saving grace this time will not only be half of the benefits, but will also suffer a big loss."

Huo Xingxing thought for a while and thought so too, and couldn't help frowning,

"Has no one in her family taught her these rules?"

- Not only Huo Xingchao, but even the Empress Dowager thinks so.

She glanced at Qu Shuning lightly, but she didn't bother to care about it, but the mood to talk about it in detail suddenly disappeared, she waved her hand,

"Okay, Aijia got it. You are a good girl, and the bear hunted by the lord has your share as a prey. Aijia will send you the bear skin later. You are shocked. Today's dinner, try a few more dishes to suppress the shock."

In fact, as soon as the words came out, Qu Shuning knew that she had overstepped.

At that time, after looking at Prince An, he was stunned by his dark eyes. Everything in his mind was very vague, and he spit out such a word subconsciously. When he reacted, Qu Shuning almost didn't pull his skirt. break.

She heard the indifference in the Queen Mother's words, restrained herself, leaned over respectfully, and spoke softly,

"Yes."

......

Huo Chaochao began to sigh again.

The words were full of sincere concern for the girl.

"Since she was so blunt at the beginning, even if she realized something was wrong later, she should have the courage to continue to pretend. But the first thing is the same, and the latter is the same. No matter how lenient the mother is, she will be uncomfortable."

Huo Xingxing raised his eyebrows and went to see his old mother.

Sure enough, the empress dowager frowned slightly, and the emotion in her eyes was a little uneasy.

"Mei Ji, please also invite an imperial physician to see Miss Qu. Even if she is not injured, the little girl is shorter than her peers, so it would be good for the imperial physician to prescribe some nourishing and nourishing prescriptions."

Mei Ji lowered her eyes, held back the smile in her eyes, and went out in response.

Qu Shuning clenched her fists slightly, bowed quietly, and followed her out of the tent.

In the north of the Dingdu capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, women in the capital city are generally taller than those in the south. In addition, girls grow and develop earlier than boys, and their marriage age is later than that of the previous dynasty, so before marriage, their stature is almost the same. .

Qu Shuning is seventeen years old this year, and her appearance is extremely beautiful. Mei Ji dares to say that even the concubines in the palace who are famous for their appearance are not as good as her.

She is also naturally intelligent, with high comprehension, poetry, poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is good at learning. Even riding and archery are first-class among women.

Together with Zhaohua County Lord, he is also known as the Shuangshu in the capital, and is well-known outside.

At the beginning, the queen mother knew this, so she took a fancy to her, thinking that although her family background was almost, she was good in character and outstanding in learning. If she was given a title at that time, she would be able to meet the standard of a princess.

The result was unexpected: under the reputation, it is actually difficult to match.

In just two contacts, the empress dowager's previous goodwill to her disappeared.

In fact, Qu Shuning also has a flaw that cannot be concealed - that is, she is short.

Compared with her peers, she is almost a head smaller and looks like a little girl from behind.

The Empress Dowager's sentence just now was gentle and caring, but in fact it directly hit the sore spot in Qu Shuning's heart.

She followed behind the maid with her head down, her mind was full of thoughts, one moment was the indifferent tone of the queen mother, the next moment was the look of Zhaohua County Lord laughing at her height, and the next moment was the danger of facing wild bears in the hunting ground this morning. .

But in the end, they were all gathered in a pair of clear eyes.

The young man was looking at him right away, still holding the knife in his hand, nodding slightly, with a grateful smile on his lips.

Immediately, she laughed.

Qu Shuning had never had contact with Prince An before.

Almost all her impressions of him came from outside rumors - arrogant, surly, wielding knives and guns, ignorant and ignorant.

Also, when a banquet was held in the palace a long time ago, she sat at the end of the banquet and occasionally raised her head to glance at a young man in front of him while he was drinking casually.

- And these two impressions, in her heart, are not very good.

Qu Shuning once thought that the man she likes and wants to marry must be both civil and military, with a gully in the chest, chic and generous, neither arrogant and arrogant like Prince An, nor femininous like Wang Li.

If she couldn't find such a man and she would live with her for the rest of her life, she would rather live forever and not marry, just like Young Master Zhuqing, to be a gentle lady who travels through the mountains and rivers, and is unrestrained in the world.

Therefore, when the queen mother revealed her intention to promise her to King An, Qu Shuning's subconscious reaction was to refuse.

But I don't know why, but now, she actually regrets it again.

She felt that she should have thought more about it before making a decision.

After getting in touch with him today, Qu Shuning discovered that the young man's eyes were bright, and he was brave and resourceful when fighting black bears, and he was not afraid at all.

Qu Shuning didn't believe that such a young man would be the arrogant and surly Prince An who was ignorant, arrogant and surly.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt pity for him again.

The world doesn't understand him, rumors spread him like this, and at the age of nineteen, there is still no marriage.

As the only person who looked into his heart, he passed him by accident due to various misunderstandings.

Now, he is about to marry his cousin.

But... cousin Lin Wan, it's not suitable for him.

He should be the kind of free woman who can talk to him, cook books and splash ink, rather than a well-behaved lady.

But all of this was done by himself.

The girl sighed slightly and followed the maid who turned around in surprise, her eyes full of loss and self-blame.

Anyway.

Even if she doesn't marry King An, she must never marry Wang Li. A man like Wang Li is really not suitable for her.

This marriage will never happen.

......

After Qu Shuning left the tent, Huo Xingchao curiously asked one more question,

"Mother, have you seen this girl?"

The queen mother looked at him,

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"I just think your attitude towards her seems a little unusual."

The queen mother looked at him carefully and found that there was really no strange color on the boy's face, so she sighed and said,

"This is the Miss Qu family that I talked to you before."

mentioned to him? When did you mention it to him?

......what.

Huo Xingchao remembered.

It turned out that this girl was the Miss Qu family who refused to be his princess.

He wanted to see him before.

Although he really didn't want to marry a concubine, Huo Xingchao was really curious about the first person he dared to refuse to marry him before he even opened his mouth for so many years.

Huo Chaochao: "Since she is the Miss Qu family, she has already engaged, and she has also rejected the marriage proposal of her mother, why would she still secretly greet you?"

Huo Xingxing: "Did she secretly greet me?"

Huo Chaochao: "You really are still a child."

Huo Xingxing: "I'll be really angry if you are so yin and yang."

Huo Chaochao: "Didn't you find out? The queen mother asked her three questions. In such a short time, she looked at you more than three times. Moreover, since she had refused marriage, she didn't make it clear about the hunting. Instead, she kept it secret, as if she wanted to have something to do with you. What do you mean by that?"

Huo Xingxing: "..."

at last.

About half an hour passed.

During this long half-quarter of an hour, Huo Chaochao has been slowly analyzing the girl's thoughts to Huo Xingxing.

Huo Xingxing frowned and snorted lazily,

"So, I have to thank her for refusing to get married. Otherwise, I will waste time talking to my mother."

Huo Chaochao also agreed,

"That was probably the only thing she did blameless."

"Star Dynasty."

The queen mother called him from the front,

"What are you dazed about?"

......

The boy raised his head and chuckled, "No."

"I was thinking whether the bear should be stewed or roasted."

Then in my heart-

Huo Xingxing: "Huo Chaochao, I think you know girls very well. Before the decision is made, you can also look at the side concubine appointed by the mother. If the mother insists on me getting married, I will at least choose a little one. Go for a bit."

Huo Chaochao: "Okay."

...of course.
